Phosphate of Lime, in the form of Burnt Hartshorn, was formerly used in medicine, in the form of Sydenham's Decoc- tum Album, and afterwards of Mistura Cornu usti. The precipitated phosphate (Calcis Phosphas praecipitatum, Ph. Dub.) is now preferred. Dr. Beneke strongly recommends it in rickets, scrofula, diarrhoea, ulcerations and excoriations of the skin and bowels, and general waste of the tissues, of children ; it also promotes the cicatrization of ulcers, and the union of fractures, where there is a deficient secretion of phosphate of lime. Dose for adults, from 4 to 6 grains three times a day; for children, 2 or 3 grains three times a day, with meals. It may he mixed with the food. Dr. B. cautions against giving it too freely in case of fractures, lest too abundant callus cause deformity of the bone. Phosphate of Lime is a good basis for Tooth Powders. 913 It Calcis Phospliat. prajcip. 3iv. Acaciae pulveris, 3ij. Misce.
